- In the diagram of transcription shown here, fill in the blanks with the appropriate terms: (a) gene; (b) promoter; (c) terminator; (d) RNA polymerase; (e) mRNA.arrow_forwardwhere, in relation to the protein-coding region of a gene, are the binding sites that become occupied by nuclear receptors? (a) upstream, (b) within the coding region, (c) downstreamarrow_forwardWhich statement is false: A) Each type of protein ( ex: hemoglobin vs trypsionngen) varies in the length and amino acid sequence of its peptide B) After the rpocess of transcription is complete, the mRNA that is produced will continue being tranlsated by ribosomes for the rest of the cells life. mRNA never breaks down C) A ribosome will bind to an mRNA and will translate the sequence by reading one codon at a time and adding one amino acid to the peptide chain. It will stop the translation once it encounters a stop codon D) The gene for a protein provides the information on the legth of the peptide, along w the amino acid sequence so the protein can be synthesized by a ribosome E) Once mRNA has left the nucleus, ribosomes will bind to it and will follow the instructions in its sequence to make the new protienarrow_forward
- once transcription is complete gene expression is controlled by..........?!arrow_forwardAt what point in gene expression do you think the process could be regulated? Select all that apply: a) Before transcription begins. b) During the process of transcription. c) During the process of translation. d) After translation ends.arrow_forwardIn eukaryotic cells, transcription cannot begin until(A) the two DNA strands have completely separated and exposed the promoter.(B) several transcription factors have bound to thepromoter.(C) the 5¿ caps are removed from the mRNA.(D) the DNA introns are removed from the template.arrow_forward
- What are the cellular activities that help describe "expression of genetic information"? (Choose all that applies) Replication Transcription C) Translation Regulationarrow_forwardYou hope to study a gene that codes for a neurotransmitter protein produced in human brain cells. You know the amino acid sequence of the protein. Explain how you might (a) identify what genes are expressed in a specific type of brain cell, (b) identify (and isolate) the neurotransmitter gene, (c) produce multiple copies of the gene for study, and (d) produce large quantities of the neurotransmitter for evaluation as a potential medication.arrow_forwardWhen regulatory protein binds to a mature mRNA in the cytoplasm and prevents it from binding to a ribosome, this is an example of: A) transcriptional control B) post-transcriptional control C) post-translational control D) epigenetic control E) translational controlarrow_forward
- Transcription and translation are separate processes in gene expression; however, they have similarities. The following terms all relate to translation. Which of these has a role that is most similar to that of the transcription start site during transcription? A)Start codon B)Stop codon C)tRNA D)Amino acidarrow_forwardGene Expression: 14) Look at the diagram: a) For each of the molecules in the diagram, identify what type of molecule they are, and label their ends (3',5',N,C). b) For each arrow, name the process and identify the major enzymes involved. c) Where do each of these activities take place in a bacterial cell? In a eukaryotic cell? Draw a picture if it helps you explain it.arrow_forwardIn your own words, explain epigenetics. What is it? What are the main epigenetic marks? What do they do in terms of gene transcription? What are the enzymes involved?arrow_forward
